Each year in March, a week is designated Youth Violence Prevention Week. In recognition of this commemoration, NCJRS has created this Special Feature to focus on violence among youths and the prevention of such violence.

The pages of this Special Feature contain compilations of topical publications and related resources on juvenile violence, youth violence research, juvenile gun and gang activity, statistics, and youth violence prevention. Please select the topics at the right of the page to access the information.
